Following the Soul’s Path
This website is primarily dedicated to that part of my soul path which is intricately connected with Native Americans and other indigenous people. (For a website that is broader in scope, please visit https://cynthiagreb.com/.)
Listening to my intuition, several years ago I began to make journeys around this country. These journeys were not vacations but more like pilgrimages, sacred adventures. The one in 2018 lasted three months and was focused primarily on northern California, Oregon, and Montana. The one in 2022 ended up being six months long and on a map looked like a huge oval of travel around the continental U.S. Then in early 2024 I completed a small journey down to Florida and back. There are many more such journeys in the future.
In 2018, I found myself discovering new things about tribes with which I was unfamiliar. There was lots of serendipity, peace as I entered the “pace of nature,” prayer at places of sorrow, and some unexpected mystical encounters. It was an incredibly rich time.
In 2022, after again receiving a strong message to travel, I chose 6 sacred or significant places I wanted to visit (or in two cases, revisit), and then let myself be guided to everything else. These six places included: the amazing Serpent Mound in Peebles, OH; Gnadenhutten, OH; Wounded Knee, SD; Bear Lodge (aka Devil’s Tower), WY; Bighorn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming; and sacred Mt. Shasta in California. Along the way, I ended up discovering many ancient earth mounds and earthworks I’d never heard of before. I learned there were thousands of these mounds, and I was continually struck by how inadequate our schools are if such significant creations are never even mentioned to our children. There are also many sites of battles and massacres where hundreds of native people were killed. These events were also glossed over in our history classes.
One day during a conversation with a nurse practitioner at a routine doctor visit, I realized that the average American knows very little about, not only the history of Native Americans, but the lives they live now, and the issues they care about now. For instance, did you know there are 574 federally recognized tribes? That’s a huge number! And native people say there are at least 200 more that the government won’t recognize. Because of all the above, part of my mission has become the sharing of what I have learned these past several years. And to that end I have been writing a lot (see my blog and stay tuned for a book being written), giving workshops and presentations both online and via Zoom, and speaking at area churches, at retirement centers, etc. My hope is to also speak at school assemblies and in college classes.
Native Americans have been both villified and glorified, but many Americans have never even had a conversation with a Native American. There is so much for each one of us to learn, so many ways to grow, and certainly much to atone for. I want to help facilitate all of those things.
Giving inspirational talks has been a part of my life for a while now. You can find out about Events, Workshops, Seminars, Talks, and Presentations, below. Or you can check out some of my videos. I especially recommend these two: “Living as if the World is Sacred” and “Cultivating a Spirit of Hope.” You can also find inspirational videos of my talks HERE, including Loving this Earth, Being Light, Angels in our Midst–Human and Otherwise, and The Most Important Things Aren’t Things. Also, listen to podcasts HERE, including: We All Have a Spiritual Support Team, How Can We Birth a New Earth (Or, Co-creating the Shift We Yearn to See), The Power of Pilgrimage, Transforming Our Fear of Death, and Communing with the Spirits. You can also find me on Facebook. If you’d like to purchase a copy of my book Grief and Grace: Stories at the Intersection of Life and Death, contact me at cynthia@cynthiagreb.com.
Meanwhile, when you’re feeling discouraged, remember the words of these wise ones:
“The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” ~Chief Seattle
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.” ~Arundhati Roy
Be the Love. Be the Light.
Bless you all,
Cynthia

Presentation at the Lansdale/Philly Psychic Development - October 30, 2022
Speak at The Celebration, Santa Fe, NM
“Communing with the Spirits”
Cynthia Greb shares about her experiences visiting sites where there were acts of great sadness and horror. She goes to these places in order to offer prayers and help the spirits to move on to a place of peace. Specifically, she talks about the nation’s largest “Indian Boarding School” in Carlisle, PA; the site of a massacre of 96 peaceful Christianized Lenape and Mohican at Gnadenhutten, OH; and the infamous massacre of more than 160 Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek, CO. But the experience at Carlisle ended up being delightful and was a great learning experience which informed her work at other “wounded places.” To date she has offered prayers and ritual at twelve different sites across the country.

Talk at Pebble Hill Church, Doylestown, PA. 10:30 a.m. EST
“The Art and Practice of Pilgrimage”
Have you ever thought about going on a pilgrimage in our own country? There are many sacred places in the United States. Cindy Greb will be sharing some of the adventures, highlights, challenges, and instances of grace she experienced on her 6-month-long journey around the country, from which she has recently returned. She’ll also share some of the powerful places where we can enter into stillness and offer prayers–like ancient earth mounds built by people well over 1000 years ago, other natural and manmade sacred sites, and some of the many places where the First People were massacred and where their spirits may still not be at peace.
She’ll also answer the questions: What was her impetus for going? And what was her take-away as she headed toward home? And how can sacredness and connection with the Divine be a part of whatever we do, wherever we are?

Seminar for Susan Duval Seminars, Doylestown, PA. 2 – 4:00 p.m. EST
“The Mystery of America’s Earth Mounds”
Did you know there are thousands of earth mounds in this country? And most of them are between 1000 and 2000 years old. Why don’t we learn about these incredible structures in school? Why do our history classes all begin with a certain European explorer accidentally stumbling upon our continent? There was already a multitude of people, cultures, and traditions on this soil. Shouldn’t we know a bit about them? In this seminar, you will be introduced to the different kinds of mounds found throughout the Midwest and the South. Some are singular, some are in clusters, and sometimes there is evidence of large ancient cities like Cahokia in Illinois and Moundville in Alabama. Other mounds are in the shapes of animals or even, in one case, possibly an alien.
Who built them, and why? And why were most of them mysteriously abandoned around 1500 AD?
Cynthia Greb has recently returned from a six-month-long journey around the country, exploring earth mounds and offering prayers at ancient, sacred sites.
(This will be part I of a 3-part series. Stay tuned for explorations of sacred Mt. Shasta, stories of extra- and intraterrestrial beings, and invitations to honor the spirits of those who died—particularly Native Americans.)
